Greenpeace Greenpeace One of the first environmental action movements. I have been helping them since 1968. I can vouch they are good people. One thing you can do to help is put Greenpeace banners on your website. If you don’t like them, there are older ones too.
   
Dr. David Suzuki Dr. David Suzuki I have known the people at the David Suzuki foundation, including David’s wife Tara, since 1961. I can vouch they are good people.
   
Western Canada Wilderness Committee Western Canada Wilderness Committee I have known the people at the WCWC since 1985. I can vouch they are good people. They work primarily to save BC’s old growth forests. You might consider sending them your $100 carbon reduction government giveaway cheque. You will probably get more carbon sequestered that way than any other way you could spend it.

Before civilisation, acquisitiveness was limited by how much you could carry. Today, technology has allowed people to accumulate mansions full of stuff, not to mention storage lockers full. Before civilisation, your energy footprint was limited by how many calories your could burn with your muscles. Today, technology lets you burn hundreds of horsepower with your vehicle, not to mention your furnace, hot water heater and electric appliances. Some people have private jets, heated pools, multiple homes and many other imaginative ways of deliberately and extravagantly trash the earth with the help of technology. The truly odd thing is people do this to impress their fellows. Surely we should spit on, if not incarcerate, such planetary traitors, not envy them.
